Can someone with actual military knowledge explain to me how this camo is beneficial? Wouldn't they just be harder to spot if they fell overboard?

>hides stains like the old dungarees
>yes

>those answers
Why not just bring back dungarees then? It looks smarter and is probably equally practical. This camo at sea nonsense has looked moronic from day dot.
Because the first time a greased turnbuckle on a lifeline touches that shirt, it's stained forever and no longer presentable. The NWU pattern actually worked; the issue was with the material of the uniform.
When military uniforms looked more like futuristic corporate mercs and less like actual military men type is when they lost my interest.
It makes Navygays easier to spot so you can stay away from them.
This, its the gov-issue warning notice like orange overalls
Hide your liquor and valuables time
No because the guy on the shark gun has thermals so he can see them day or night and calm them down accurately.
are you so out of touch you think that is still the navys working uniform?
How well does haze grey paint hide on that camo pattern?
Get with the times OP we look like avocados now
Are you disciplined or disobedient avocados though?
>obligatory ancient meme
imagine being under the boot of the CCP, do people really in your country?
>On huge fricking ship
>Wears camouflage that matches the sea

Would make more sense to wear camouflage that matches the ship. Then again if an enemy gets that close, what's the point.
Frick you with your big brained smug take. If you go over the side, it doesn't matter what you're wearing.
>yes it does!
No it doesn't. If it did, why would we let anyone wear blue float coats?
When thr japs attack again they cam hide in the water. Really it should be reversible with orange tabs on the cuffs and collar.
That sounds kinda flash, actually.
They phased them out years ago. Now it's some kind of utilitarian khaki thing. Not as cool as the whites, but acceptable, and accentuates the fact they're crewing a vehicle.
The Navy Flag Ranks are full of LARPing morons and Homosexuals now.
If you're not SEALS or SeaBees, you have no business wearing camo.
Dungarees are fine.
Same with Air Force. Sateens are all you need for turning a wrench on an air base.
>If you're not SEALS or SeaBees, you have no business wearing camo
frick yea NECC
It makes girls look pretty
Why not just make the Navy uniform a bikini then? The dudes are gay and would like seeing each other in it anyway, and it would give a nice aesthetic to the women of the service.
Anybody who makes this joke never went underway.
You didn't wear that fricking thing out to sea. You wore coveralls. Baggy, stinking coveralls that ripped if you looked at them funny.
The Navy didn't get rid of the blueberries because of the jokes. It's because the pieces of shit were entirely too flammable. Hell, even the first phase of the new greens were as well, since QC is a myth spoken of only in whispers in the MIC.
100% cotton isn't more flammable than some polyester blended shit that will partially melt onto your skin.
And frick their FR crap...it's a coating that washes off after a few launderings.
I don't care what Swabbies wear, but Camo is for ground troops, and blue camo is just fricking cringe.
Were I the CinC, some Flag and their staff would be court-martialed for this.
Blue camo was actually the most effective camouflage in use for what it was designed. Keep uniforms presentable based on common shipboard stains.
If you'd have ever served afloat you'd have tossed several uniforms after brushing a freshly painted haze gray bulkhead with your sleeve.
It's to hide from the sharks, you stupid idiot.
